Special Series No. 10, German Antiaircraft Artillery, 8 February 1943.

The purpose of this study is two fold: to give U. S. troops a comprehensive picture of German antiaircraft artillery and its use, and at the same time to furnish U. S. antiaircraft artillery men data by which they can compare German methods with their own. Although some technical data is furnished for the latter purpose, it is quite obvious that a study of this type cannot include all known technical details on German antiaircraft materiel and technique.
107 pages, illustrated.

The War of the Rebellion: a Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies

The matter of publishing the official records of the Civil War seems to have been considered by Congress as early as May 19, 1864 (Stat. L. v. 13, p. 406)." Other acts followed from time to time, and the work was carried on in a more or less desultory fashion until December 14, 1877, when Captain Robert N. Scott, later lieutenant-colonel, was detailed to take charge of the work. At that time, 47 of the 79 volumes, later known as "preliminary prints" (W45.9:) had been compiled and 30 copies of each had been printed.
